New Public Library, Plans, Boston, MA, 1888, McKim Mead White, Original, Hand Colored

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of Boston Public Library Site on Copley Square, Boston, Massachusetts.  HAND-COLORED  McKim, Mead & White, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, May 26, 1888.

This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been.  It measures approximately 12 by 16 inches and has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 20 by 16 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.
